5 terms
dividend equivalent RSUs financial
"Each RSU is the economic equivalent of one share ... and yields dividend equivalent RSUs."
Omnibus Incentive Plan financial
"Vesting and exercise will occur in accordance with the Omnibus Incentive Plan and the applicable grant agreement"
An omnibus incentive plan is a single, flexible program a company uses to give employees and executives different types of pay tied to performance — for example stock options, restricted shares, cash bonuses and other awards — all governed by one set of rules. It matters to investors because it determines how many new shares may be created, how leaders are motivated and how much the company will spend on compensation over time; think of it as a master toolbox that affects both costs and the total share supply.
grant agreement financial
"Vesting and exercise will occur in accordance with the Omnibus Incentive Plan and the applicable grant agreement"
in lieu of cash dividends financial
"Dividend equivalent RSUs received in lieu of cash dividends for the first quarter of 2026."
